Is it realistic to completely avoid PvP in EVE Online?I'd say avoid nullsec altogether for PVE. I was a long-year carebear and wanted to get into PVP. So I thought it would be fun to get myself used to getting blown up by living in a nullsec system with an alt. The mechanics, playstyle and paranoia change dramatically when flying in nullsec and you have to constantly check your surroundings. PVE in nullsec is just not possible at all because you have to keep the other players in mind all the time. On the other hand, I learned more about game- and combat mechanics in those few weeks than in my long carebear-years.
